Video: Things I do January 1st

This video is about some actions to help with #taxes, #financialgoal and #Budget for the #2024 and #2025 calendar years. With the #NewYear having come and gone, I thought I would share some things that I did on #January 1st of 2025, and what the state of my #finances is. I look at my #networth, budget, total #dividends, #taxbrackets, #compare my #investing prowess against the #benchmark, show my 2025 #TFSA purchase, #fees, creating #SMART #goals, #rebalancing a #portfolio and other #administrative things for 2025.

Video: Non-Financial Considerations prior to Retirement

Retiring is a significant #life #transition, and considering #non-financial #factors is just as important as #financial #planning. Here are some key aspects to think about: #Health and #Wellness, #Social #Connections, #Purpose and #Fulfillment, #Routine and #Structure, #Housing and #Living #Arrangements, #Personal #Growth and #Education, and #Legacy and #Givingback. By considering these #non-financial aspects, you can create a #fulfilling and #enriching #retirement #experience.

Video: Wealth Building Strategies by Net Worth

I walk you through what your main #priorities should be at each #stage of #networth and show you what #changes (and what stays the same) as your #investment #portfolio begins to grow. You have different #priorities at a negative net worth compared to when you’re at over a #million. We look at #mortgages, #debt, #creditcard debt, #studentdebt, living beyond your means and #lifestyle creep, the importance of #insurance, an #emergencyfund, #saving #rate, #interest #rates, using #index #ETFs, #bonds, #privateequity and #realestate. The importance of #financialplanning, #tax #planning and living an appropriate #lifestyle is also mentioned.

Video: The Time I Saw a Financial Advisor

I had a free #financialplan done by a #financialplanner from #wealthsimple. I hadn’t had one done for a while, and wanted to confirm the #RRSPmeltdown #strategy, as well as when to take the #CPP and #OAS.

Video: Things To Do before Year End 2023

This video is about some actions to help with #taxes, #financialgoal and #Budget for the #2024 calendar year.

Video: When to take CPP and OAS

One of the key decisions someone approaching the age of 60 is when to take the #CanadaPensionPlan (#CPP) and the #OldAgeSecurity (#OAS). I discuss the facts and give some guideliness as to when to start taking these government benefits.

I also touch on the #GuaranteedIncomeSupplement (#GIS).
